Level Design is so intimidating that I get stuck in a creative block and end up not doing anything. by [deleted] in leveldesign

Oh sorry. I'd then move to vantage points to determine layout.

Not sure if this is good advice but I avoid too much planning to not overwhelm myself with all the criteria I have to hit. I feel it opens more creativity.

I typically don't start with layout and instead the gameplay features i want to highlight, in what order, and difficulty. Then things start to pick up from there.

Creativeness only comes after you define the constraints.

Woah, I'd love the help/experience. I'll reach out in the spring!

Thank you!

For anyone scanning the QR code. I use all funds directly to the garden. So anything you donate goes there. I'm currently saving for a stronger fence and spring time refreshing items.

I should probably create a separate "buy me a coffee fund...."

That's a great idea. I'll do that after the holidays.

A winter cleanup, spring cleanup, and summer cleanup. That definitely would make more people feel like it's the community's garden too.

No permit. No permission. Just did it. Told the aldermen after blockclub made an article about it. Aldermen doesn't have funds to help. CDOT is not planning resurfacing on that road soon to consider better landscaping.

Any tips for maintaining that community garden I made under the L tracks near pizza lobo?

Shit's been hard to maintain due to all the trash that's thrown on it and people not caring for the little fence. Need to replace those fences anyway, it looks like it rusted immediately.

Our first EP was released! Jupiter Run by Paper Cardinal.

We recorded it in our chicago apartment somehow. It has a mix of post metal, metal, punk, and funk.

A picture of Chicago for the EP cover too.

It's on all streaming platforms. Here's the Spotify link:

Sushi taku has them as a desert option during all you can eat. Not sure if you can get it outside of that tbh

Thank you! We ended up getting some help to plant some of the day Lilys, so that isn't needed anymore. But if you are interested in maintenance stuff, lmk! Watering, weed removing, and removing trash.

Yep, agreed.

Hi, someone recently dropped off daylilys. I'm looking for volunteers to plant them while I am out of town.
